House Republicans in competitive districts dominated their Democratic counterparts in fundraising during the first three months of 2023, according to an Axios analysis.
Why it matters: Republicans have an early financial edge as they seek to expand their narrow majority and defend nearly 20 seats that went for President Biden in 2020.
By the numbers: Out of the 39 House incumbents whose seats are rated as either “toss-up” or “lean” by Cook Political Report, 17 of the top 20 fundraisers in the first quarter were Republicans.
- On average, the Republicans raised $686,075, while the Democrats brought in $404,687.
- National Republican Congressional Committee spokesperson Jack Pandol also noted the average Republican targeted by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has $705,767 in cash on hand, while the average Democrat targeted by the NRCC has just $424,560.
